ap/yahoo news ^ | 7-13-09 | Mark Sherman

The leading Judiciary Committee Republican is charging that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is "out of the mainstream" of legal thinking and has a very activist judicial profile.

Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama made the assertion just hours before Sotomayor, who would be the third woman to join the court, was to face her initial confirmation hearing.

Graham’s RINO comments will be all over Air Waves!

There was a time I really liked Graham. Now he is a left-leaning loose cannon. He will vote his "conscience" and give -8bama his nominee out of the committee. Maybe then he'll feel enough cover to vote against on the floor but who knows?

Either way he will make it impossible to kill the nomination in committee based on an obsolete "tradition" and that sucks.

“Her face looks swollen......

If her diabetes is that bad then it is also clouding her mind.”

A “confused” clouded mind like they claimed Gerald Walpin had?

Speaking of a clouded mind, there’s nothing wrong with having a second-rate intellect. Most (52%) of Americans have one. But we don’t need one on the SCOTUS.

Rush just said that the protester shouted “stop the Latino genocide by abortion.”

Because he has been in DC too long. He's been there since 1995. Even the good ones become corrupted by 'inside-the-beltway' mentality ... must be something in the DC water supply.

Can you imagine how strong an individual you must be to go to Washington DC and remain a rational, ethical person? I don't think I could survive without running away. No decent person could, it seems.

And that is a big, big problem.

In 1986, Sessions was nominated for a federal judgeship by Reagan. He was Borked by the Senate Judiciary Committee, who made up a bunch of crap...as usual...

Then we see the Cheshire Rat laughing at the people of America attired in full polo shirt disrespect. I suspect his golf bag and cleats are to be found every day atop a $93,000 antique Duncan Phyfe table next to the entry door. _________ Ugh, he's repulsive. Wonder if that table will be there after if he leaves. They better take inventory.

IMO, Graham made a 'good show' of being a conservative Republican waaaay back when....

..his true colors have been bleeding out ever since.
